Made with seven hop varieties, this deep copper-orange IPA is loaded with juicy hop notes of pine, lemon zest, and a layer of pink grapefruit and a strong foundation of toasted caramel malts underneath it all give this beer a complexity that's unparalleled.

Reviews by boelker62:

Poured a nice copper under a two-finger white head. An uneventful aroma barely pulls off this brew. Really, unimpressive. An I was really looking to be impressed after having Weyerbacher's Double Simcoe IPA. Oh well.

Really, 7 types of hops, but seems like not alot were used. I don't know, maybe so many were used, without any malt, that they cover each other up, if that's possible. Maybe my issue is that the taste in nondefinitively bitter. Really hard to pull any vaietals out of this. It is bitterness subtraction by addition.

Bitter, bitter, bitter, without any organic or vegetable like authenticity. It feels forced, unfortunately.

This one poured a deep yellow/gold color with with nice head that leaves some real nice lacing.Aroma is piney hop thru and thru,with a very slight caramel background.Iam not a hop head by any means but this was suprisingly good,I would get again.This did have a little complexity in my opinion not just total hop craziness.

Appearance  This one came out of the tap with a deep, hazy orange color that was quite inviting. The beer was filled almost to the top so I didnt get much of a head.

Smell  The hops here were quite evident. The dominant smell seemed to be that fuggly aroma that you get with a lot of East Coast IPAs. Also typical of the region is a nice, somewhat sugary malt balance which is always appreciated.

Taste  The nose tells the story to this ale. The hops came on a little lighter than I expected, but otherwise you have a nicely-balanced IPA. There were also some resiny notes in the background that kept things entertaining.

Mouthfeel  This one was medium in the body with a nice, slightly dry finish.

Poured into a pint glass with a huge pillowy head, retains about a quarter inch. Lots of very sticky, clumpy lacing on the glass, very encouraging. Color is light orange, slight haze.

Aroma is so citrusy it's hard to tell it's from hops alone. "A" for originality here. Bailie says it smells like orange cleaner. It's a combination of orange, peach and apricot.

It's actually a pretty well-balanced, easily drinkable beer. There isn't much malt flavor, but enough is present to mellow out the hops. In the words of Bill Belichick, "It is what it is," and that is a hop-overload IPA. For all the hop aroma and flavor, there isn't an overpowering bitterness to the beer. Very easy on the palette. Very interesting and worth a try.

A lighter bronze in appearance. Quite carbonated with tight lacing, but no retention. Smells nice enough - some slight citrus and pine. Though the malt kills the aroma. Initial taste is a malt v hops battle. There's the caramel roast on the bottom and up top a resiny tang. The midpoint is dominated by the malt, but it steps aside for a semi-sweet and bitter hop finish. Tastes like English-style, but with a more defined hop character.

Weyerbacher Hops Infusion with the crazy cartoon hop label, which states 7 different types of hops were used in producing this brew. Pours from the bottle a deep golden red with a half inch head of tightly packed tiny bubbles on top. Aromas are sweet caramel covered candy hops all the way. Citrus, grapefruit, spice and herbal piney notes collide in the nose. Dank and resinous while still not being as forward as many other IPA's.

First sip brings a crystal pale, caramelly malt backbone with a hint of toasted bread. Green, earthy hops jump out mid palate. A tad spicy with notes of citrus, grapefruit and pine needles. Mid level bitterness throughout makes this one quite refreshing. Lots of resiny hop oils stick to the side of the mouth as the flavors seem to battle one another. I like it. Per Weyerbacher's website this is brewed with Target, Magnum, Cascade, Liberty, Willamette, Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops...definetly a unique hop bill there.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and slightly chewy...the brew makes itself be known. I could see myself sitting down to a few of these if they were available locally. An interesting IPA to say the least and one for those who are more hop oriented. If I have the opportunity I will probably purchase this one again.

Taste...ughhh...its beer, but not very good beer. It has a dirty earthy flavor to it. Not really any hop flavor profile. A little kick of bitterness which would be nice if this had some real flavor. I"m gonna work on finishing this one down, but its gonna be hard.

Mouthfeel is full though and a little creamy. Its hard to get past the taste though and it definately brings the drinkability down. I'm glad I bought only one. Not Weyerbacher's best by any means...

A 12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Amber in color, with a thick white head that gave some good lacing. The aroma was primarily floral, as well as a little buttery. Hops in the taste, a little citrus (grapefruit). I thought it felt a little sharp, but still really enjoyed it. Will try it again.

The new bottle looks nothing like the one shown - big old hop cone on a blue background. The beer also tastes little like the original. It's darker now, a more proper IPA bronze, with a white head. Massive hoppiness in the nose - coarse, leafy, welcoming.

Welcome to Hop Central. Leafy, tea-like, earthy, cirtus, pine... all kinds of hoppiness flow over the palate but now there's a nutty Weyerbacher-style maltiness to back it up. Thankfully there's no Amarillo in here - it would seriously screw up the interplay of flavors going on. Firm, firm bitterness as well. Finishes with a refreshing lingering hoppiness, medium mouthfeel and could probably drink this until my taste buds went numb.

Far closer to what I think they intended with the first version, and a tasty alternative to some of the usual excellent choices.

Pours an orange amber color with a very white head it is thick and creamy with ample lacing.

The aroma is fresh very hoppy, citrus with earthy notes. The aroma is like a fresh hop cone very nice. Latter notes of malt in the back support with a slight buttery crystal malt.

The mouth is smooth. From what you expect with the aroma is a slight let down but that said it is nice. The taste malty to start the taste turns to a earthy hop flavor. The taste is a bitter finish but finishes very clean. a well round IPA.

If the mouth were a tad heavier you could easily convince me that it was a double IPA

Presentation: 12 oz brown longneck bottle, no freshness date to be found. States that this beer has 4 times the amount of hops as their IPA, seven types of hops are used also. On the label is a picture of a hop cone with electrons whirling around it.

Appearance: Hazy sunrise orange hue, lack of clarity is most likely due to the massive use of hops. Thick pillowy white head forms, a by product of the hops ... good head retention.

Smell: Smells somewhere between fresh picked hop cones and hops that have been steeped like tea. Hop leaf, citrus and earthy within. Hop oils are so pungently sweet with undertones of raw cane sugar syrup. A hidden fruity ester or two with some biscuity malt shows through the hops for a very brief moment.

Taste: Egats! Hops are imploding over taste buds! Mellow medium body, very smooth on the tongue with a lower level of carbonation. Hops, hops and hops ... they go from juicy fruit and citric rind to herbal and earthy with flowery flavour throughout. Hop oil is sweet and overly expressive, tastes of fresh hop tea. Malt is nearly nonexistent other than the mouth feel, they are pretty much masked by the hop's clout. Some fruit esters punch a small hole into the flavour threshold, a very small hole that is. Bitterness is up there but this is more of a hop flavour ale than an overly bitter ale. Complexity of the hops makes the mind go a tad towards madness. This beer never real has an end and has an everlasting finish, it just keeps lingering with hops.

Notes: Well, well, well aren't we the little hop bastard of the bunch, delicate but strong. Hop addicts will get a soothing fix of this one, only ballsy beer drinkers should attempt to drink Hop Infusion.

Golden orange pour with ample off-white head. Good head retention with plenty of lacing. Nose is powerful with hops. Citrus, pine, spices, and floral notes abound. Mouthfeel has plenty of hops bite and medium carbonation. Taste is spicy, crisp, and refreshing-mostly pinecone with some grapefruit background. Light bodied and goes down easy. Little malt taste in evidence, as this one's all about the hops and they deliver a highly drinkable ale. Finishes clean without any significant aftertaste.

12 ounce bottle sampled, couldn't find any freshness dating...pours a darkhone, light brown shade of amber/almond. Cloudy with a nice fine white head and leaving well segmented and dispersed lacing. Nose is ,suprise, hops! Pine, resin, brine you name it. Full bodied brew, mucho hop character up front and thinning only slightly at mid stage and upon the finishing vapors. Hop heads rejoice, this will satiate your hop hungry taste buds and aroma sensors. Not as bitterly crunching as other notable hop monsters, nor as full bodied and satisfying. Well worth a try, none the less.

Appearance: Poured a hazy honey color. Small, creamy head dies to a tiny layer atop the beer. Patchy lacing of the glass.

Smell: Nice aroma. Floral, spicy, and citrus all combine well.

Taste: Me OldFrothingSlosh. Me hophead. That being said, I certainly expected more of a kick from the supposed quadrupling of the hops (which begs the question of what is the IBU of their "regular" IPA?). This is not the case. While there may be vast quantities of hops in this beer, together they do not offer a satisfying flavor. I just couldn't pick out any defining taste in this beer. Frustrating indeed, as I am one who loves the hop. And was excited to try this. Other than the hodge-podge of hoppy flavors battling it out on my tongue, I didn't taste any truly noticeable malty sweetness. All hops.

Mouthfeel: Average. Crisp and well-carbonated.

Drinkability: The very dry and crisp finish, with minimal aftertaste still didn't make this a "I must have another drink" beer. An "earthy" aftertaste was a turn-off.

This is from a sampler case from Weyerbacher. Expiration date clearly marked on the case!! YEA!!

Pours a very clear medium orange with a 2 finger head of cream colored foam. The head eventually, and slowly, drops to a good coating and a sticky ring. You can count all the sips. Beautiful.

Aroma is hops out the wazoo. Smells of juicy citrus/grass, maybe a little oily, There is a slight caramel aroma here as well, but it is muted by the hops. I like it. Hop aromas decrease over the duration of the drink.

Isn't nearly as bitter as one might expect from a label that says seven types of hops, but there is a HUGE hop flavor. This is obviously the focus of this. The taste is juicy/citrusy/oily, but in a hop goodness kind of way. Lord help me, I do like this beer. As it warms you get an earthy/herbal taste, probably from, duh, hops. Aftertaste is long with oily, resiny hop flavors.

Mouthfeel is creamy but oily. High level of sweetness; lips actually stick to the rim of the glass. Carbonation is soft. Finish is a very long oily sweetness.

If you don't like hop flavor, I don't think you could drink this. I am an avowed hophead, and I really like this. I would buy a case of this.

12oz brown bottle,served into a flaired tulip glass.Clear meduim copper color with a 2" off-white creamy head. Good retention leaving some lace curtians atop the glass. Well carbinated with some tiny bubbles stringing from the sides of the aglss and constiant streams rising from the center from the glass.

Strong,very complex hop aroma spicy/earthy/woody,grapefruit,grassy,herbal,lots of mint,piney comes through as the beer warms. Nothing other than hops,lots of late hop additions and dry hopping the aroma's would suggest.

Piney,resinous tastes up front,a bit of a suprize,not mush pine aroma,although they did come through as the beer warmed. Turns grapefruitty as the pine tames down. Has a suprizingly good balance for all the hoppyness. Lots of sweet honeyied maltiness.Has a toungue wrenching hop finish with mouthwatering grapefruittyness. Yet not to overbearing,very nice.

Medium bodied with some syrupy/cloyingness. A good ipa with a very interesting hop profile.Just can't imagine drinking more than a couple of these. had this beer and didn't really like it,maybe the beer has changed or my tastebuds have changed. Either way,a beer worth a try.

poured out of 12oz. bottle at cellar temp. with the shinniest label ive ever seen. poured into a pint glass, pours a cloudy deep orange color with some nice off white, almost orange head that has great retention, lasts pretty much to the end. some sticky lacing.

the smell is full of fresh flowery, citrus hops. quite nice.

the taste is absolutely great. huge range of all sorts of hop flavors. definately not overly bitter and just a little bit of a malt presence. the hops almost remind me of a fresh hop ale, theres, citrus and piney notes, with flowery hops all over. there are 7 hop varieties used in this IPA and it definately shows. medium body with kind of a minimal carbonation to it.

this is a great session beer, such a smooth flavor combined with a very drinkable ABV. great IPA here, id recommend to any hop head. this is the first one ive tried from weyerbachers and i cant wait to get at the rest.
